Well, that sucked. Rays 6, Orioles 3.

PrintWe all knew this season would be like this. We can hit, some. Our defense can be good. We have some, but not much, decent starting pitching. And our bullpen is among the worst in baseball.

Koji’s line looks even better when you take away the two earned runs that were originally charged to him with two outs in the sixth. The official scoring designation on one of those plays in the 7th was changed to an error on Melmo; that’s probably fair as there was a ball that went right between his legs.
Not that it makes the loss any more palatable, really. But at least it makes the start look better. Three unearned runs on the day, though… ouch.

I took the box
from The Sun’s site 30 minutes after the game, and it showed 3 errors and just 1 unearned run.
Matt Wieters took batting practice this morning. There were no survivors.
I dunno
I looked on the ESPN box score and they have him down for only 3 ER. Though the play-by-play there does not list Mora’s error at all, even though it’s in the box score. I don’t suppose it really matters. Just wanted to throw that out there.

Let's go with that
Seems to be the consensus 3 hours after the game. Unfortunately, I can’t edit choices in a poll once it’s up, so 5ER stays. Sorry.

Sure you can
just go into edit and click the little pencil next to the attached poll.

Really?
I tried before and couldn’t. Let me try again.

You’re right.
You’d think after 17 years of marriage I’d just follow the directions of a female the first time. There’s a lot of evidence proving things usually work when I do that.

3 errors in one game
Nice defense, guys.
Koji looked nasty from what I saw.

2 of them were on one play.
Zaun overthrew second, and then AJ airmailed his throw over Mora’s head and somewhere into the first row of seats.

The 6th and 7th? Not so much.

Vote for Koji
Dude had a great outing. His pitched way better than his line looks, but he ran into some bad luck and poor defense behind him.
I predicted a 100 loss season.

I was sitting in the car and was about to get out and head inside the stadium when Kaplan’s grounder went between Mora’s legs. As I turned the key and got out I felt Koji was about to waste a nice outing. Sad the O’s always squander “Getaway days”. They seem to perform as if one foot is already inside the aircraft and they are order drinks for the flight out.

I voted for Koji
He has command of the strike zone. He does not give free passes.

My best game plan is to sit on the bench and call out specific instructions like 'C'mon Boog,' 'Get ahold of one, Frank,' or 'Let's go, Brooks.' -Earl Weaver
I'd disagree
I think Roberts and Uehara gave performances worthy of consideration.

Yeah, but hey, it was an *interesting* way to suck. When I left for the gym, we were still in an Insurmountable Tie.
And then somebody screwed up. I’m not naming names. If I may paraphrase a great public servant now in retirement (thank Cripes), if the manager says it’s legal to do this, then by definition it’s legal. Sure, it’s torture for O’s fans to watch. But Condi’s always right, and we can’t very well impeach Dave. He’s The Trembler.
Oh, and Koji, bless your heart (and thanks for some real thrills yesterday!): Why were you, um, backing up the third base line insteaed of third there on their bogus first run?
In other loser news, Daniel and Sid have each had 5 starts this year— and they have yet to register a W between them (0-2 and 0-4 reflexively). Sid has sucked worse, with an ERA nudging over 7, but Daniel may not have him to kick around much longer. Sid’s start tonight (home vs. Seattle) may well be his swan song to the streaking, Division Leading Kansas City Royals. The whaaa…? Yeah, read e’m and [bleep].
Interestingly, at the newly-formatted Baseball Reference Dot Com, you can now sponsor a page! Cool!. Sid’s is actuially sponsored by two guys, a James Beam and John Walker Black, it seems.
And speaking of Seattle, they could really insure Sid’s bus ticket if they were starting Buh-DARD tonight (2-1, 2.37).
Nice Yahoo Sports centerpiece story on Adam Jones today. If this is our Major Media National Coverage, well, let’s make the most of it.
Also from Yahoo & Youtube, a nice little puff piece/video featuring one of America’s principal MILFs, Denise Richards, tunelessly assassinating Take Me Out to the Ballgame at Wrigley.

That park remains a place I love from childhood. And yeah, despite the crushing tedium of her reality show, I would, y’know, dance with Denise any day. Under the bleachers at Wrigley, wherever. Don’t tell Nina, OK?

I feel like a 6 game winning streak
is going to happen in May.

6? In a row?
Right now, it’s feeling like 6 TOTAL wins in May.

here are the dates
May 21 @NYY
May 22 @WAS

May 24 @WAS
May 25 vs. TOR
May 26 vs TOR

If we do not win the series of May 22-24, we may well be officially deisgnated by the league office as Not Good at Baseball.

daniel cabrera is 0-21 batting wise
19 Ks with 1 walk given up by Hayden Penn on four straight pitches.

Glad we got rid of both of that guy.
Penn that is. As bad Cabrera is at pitching I don’t think even HE woud walk himself on four straight.
